My name is James H Jen. I was born in Taiwan but moved to the US when I was four and grew up on the east coast in NJ. After college in Maryland, I spent 6 years in Seattle with Microsoft designing and building consumer software, games, and gaming platforms. I came to China 5 years ago and helped Ubisoft product the first Xbox Live game (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter), and the first Next Gen game (Splinter Cell Double Agent). Afterwards I built a 4 ½ million dollar interactive entertainment business for a Software Services company called Augmentum.

Last year, I decided take the full entrepreneurial plunge and own and run two business. China West Coast which is a 3d art outsourcing and education company as well as TipCat Interactive, a leading Social and Mobile games company with studios in Shanghai and Suzhou.

I personally very passionate about travel, new life experiences, and helping drive the future of consumer entertainment as mainstream entertainment transitions from passive, fixed location, single person passive consumption experiences to more interactive, mobile, and social experience. I have been attending and participating in EO events as a guest since my first year here in Shanghai and I’m excited to now finally officially qualify and potentially join as a member.
